| description | Case Presentation: A 65-year-old male presented to the emergency department with symptoms including fever, abnormal urinalysis, and elevated post-void residual. Point-of-care ultrasound was used to rapidly diagnose a bladder diverticulum. The patient was subsequently seen by urology for outpatient bladder repair. Discussion: Bladder diverticula, an out-pouching of the bladder, may occur congenitally or as a result of various bladder conditions and/or surgery. Although bladder diverticula are rare and often asymptomatic, severe complications including frequent recurring urinary tract infections may arise depending on the patient. |
